I hear that others understood it too, they just didn't want to add to 
the noise ;)

Ah, see, I tend to be of the opinion that Amnesiac was more of a "Look 
what we can di with a studio!" album than a piece of music.  That's why 
the IMBW version of Like Spinning Plates is good, while the studio 
version leaves me flat.  There are great songs (Pyramid Song) followed 
by some of the most out-of-place glitch I've ever heard.  Then there's 
the crappy version of Morning Bell...but I'm sure this particular 
discussion has been had a billion^2 times already, so I think I'll stop 
there.

The lead guitar at 2:25 in Knives Out is probably the coolest part of 
the album.  The associated Space Ghost appearance was pretty good too.

I guess I'll say that I've always been a fan of artists going where they 
feel the need to go.  NIN's The Fragile and The Smashing Pumpkins' Adore 
are two of my favorite albums.  I guess RH went their own way and I just 
didn't want to go the same place.

I think the whole Kid A package = kid book thing was rather cool, and 
well-done.  There is no denying the Amnesiac package was better, but 
it's porobably the niftiest way of presenting an album I've ever seen.

My first OtR CD, I should've known.  Yes, I went for the odd album out 
first, if that gives you any insight as to how my twisted little head 
operates.
